Good Morning,

~ Newport String Quartet’s next Hidden Newport event brings the quartet to the sanctuary of the Newport Congregational Church, the only surviving comprehensive architectural interior by the renowned American artist John La Farge. La Farge, who lived from 1835 to 1910, patented a new ‘colored-glass window’ in 1880 that softened direct light. Music for this event includes works by Henry Purcell, Alan Hovhaness, Komitas, and an arrangement of the Unst Boat Song from the Shetland Islands. The premiere, linked here, airs today at 2 pm.

~ With the Special Election just two days away, Frank Prosnitz asks where oh where have the governors been on the bond issues?

~ WUN’s movie critic Alexander Harrison reviews Minari, which can be seen now in the JPT Film & Events Center virtual screening room.

~ Just two weeks until Daylight Saving Time starts.
